Spirals

The graceful, spiral-like composition of this warm-toned, pearlescent dress seems to recall the most elegant shell of the sea. A fascination of the Renaissance, the Nautilus shell served as a treasured decoration and the subject of much art and literature. This strapless dress, with its sweeping, pleated arcs, and luxuriously draped right-hand bow will be an equivalent source of inspiration for today's masses. Once you slide its visible bronze zipper up your back, settle your peds into spiraling heels, and fasten on pearl jewelry and a satin hair clip, you'll become a muse for every imaginative soul you pass!

This is an amazing party dress in a gorgeous shimmery orange. Strapless with a spiral floral design, with layers and scalloped skirt. Back zipper.

Utilizing the ancient structure of kilim weaving, Belkis Balpinar, former museum curator and researcher, lecturer and author of several books on Anatolian carpets and kilims, pioneered a new art form in the second half of the eighties  the contemporary/modern kilim or artkilim. Since 1986 her career as scholar and artist has moved between ancient and contemporary, bridging the old and the new and novel.
After her studies at the Textile Department at the Fine Arts Academy of Istanbul, Balpinar served as curator of the Carpet Section of the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art and as the Director of the Vakiflar Carpet and Kilim Museum in Istanbul.
With the kilim as her canvas, Balpinar challenges the rule that kilims must always be rectangular. Over the years, experiments with warp and weft have taught her to defy the traditional rules of kilim weaving in many ways.

You're resting high on more than two feet of soft support wrapped in downy comfort. You look down and see the spirals winding round and round. Sleep is coming. The spirals slowly spin and you drift away. Complete the fantasy by adding a canopy. Available in all sizes.

Rasta stool is a hyperbolic geometry physical mesh. It was built using the methods employed by prof. DainaTaimina seen through the Designboom weblog. Made of a single strap of recycled elastomer, glued through a process giving a tension between spirals, the result being coming close to the theoretical pseudo-sphere. Seating comfort is offered by external objects, the mesh is only integrating them into the object.

These recycled glasses are a great first step to a more mindful and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Made from the bottom halves of Bordeaux bottles that were "rescued" on the way to the landfill, each glass represents a second chance for these bottles to be useful, beautiful objects. The distinct design carries 'Protect Our Earth' in 4 languages: English, Spanish, Afrikaans (South African) and French. The branch patterns are also etched instead of printed with inks, further making these drinking glasses as sustainable as they are beautiful. Perfect for casual outdoor dining or recreating summer warmth indoors during the colder months. Sold as a set of 4.
